paradox of parasites

[Guest guest]

Exactly. A few years ago, I was feeling quite awful. I was light headed a lot,

nauseous, not myself. Went to a holistic-type doctor and he said I had parasites

in my spleen. I took the parasite cleansing supplements he prescribed and my

symptoms went away.

We have also used a zapper type machine for other parasite and warts, along with

some other problems. The symptoms cleared up after treatments.

I think everyone is sort of caught up in the idea that " parasites " are only

intestinal. Many parasites enter the bloostream and go direcly to the bone

marrow or heart. You certainly don't have to be sick to contract a parasite. It

can come as simply as planting flowers in a garden, or getting bitten by a tick,

or having sex. Your immune system has no way to kill parasites that enter the

bone marrow or cerebrospinal fluid.

Sepsis is the leading cause of death in hospitalized patients outside of

coronary intensive care units.

BTW - that 4,000 year old " iceman " found in Italy several years ago, died of

worms. Wasn't he on an ancient diet?

I agree that parasites aren't a good thing to have in our systems. I have

read statistics that 40-75% of deaths in this country have parasitic

involvement. Of course Hulda believes it contributes to all diseases.

Yes, in a perfect world we wouldn't have this problem, but as we all know,

it isn't a perfect world and there is no longer a perfect food either.

I think that parasites are the wrong target...they come later on the chain

of events. I think that a small amount of parasites in a healthy person's body

aren't going to cause any problems but that a body that is overwhelmed with

parasites is very harmful to that person (the latter person will have a poor

diet and be unhealthy long before the parasites came along...then the parasites

just make things worse). I don't agree with most of the methods the

anti-parasite people (ie. Hulda ) use to get rid of parasites. I think the

methods of killing parasites do a lot of damage to the internal ecosystem and

make it even harder to keep the body parasite-free. This happened to me. I had a

HUGE microscopic (as opposed to visible worms) parasite problem. I did Hulda

's cleanse as well as one recommended by Stan Wienberger (I think that is

his name....he has a book). I killed lots of parasites and they came back. I

killed them again and they came back. Finally, I got educated more on biological

terrain, changed my diet even more, started on fermented vegetables and cultured

dairy and ate foods that were anti-parasitic. They aren't a problem anymore. It

is taking a long time to rebuild my intestinal tract from all the damage the

parasitic herbs caused. They do more than just wipe out the parasites.

Of course large amounts of parasites are not desirable in a body, but a

person wouldn't ever develop the problem if they were truely healthy in the

first place. Your body would throw up, have diarrhea, etc to eliminate them if

it was healthy. An unhealthy body won't do this and they will become a problem.

If a person is not interested in really creating a healthy body with a good

biological terrain, then maybe they should do a parasite cleanse once or twice a

year....they should also take steps to cleanse their liver, colon and kidneys.

But a person eating well and living naturally shouldn't need to take specific

cleansing measures...it would be an ongoing thing their body does as a matter of

normal detox.

Hi,

On many many email health lists, people are desparately trying to rid

themselves of parasites in

order to restore their health.

Here it is the opposite. Very particular and peculiar.

Isn't it important to know which ones and when they should be avoided and when

they might be

helpful?

Thanks,
